Where Engineering
Meets Product Vision

India's digital mapping stack is Rishin's home territory. From digital map data and APIs to SaaS, PaaS, and MaaS platform design, he understands how geospatial intelligence is built, scaled, and monetised. His tenure at MapmyIndia — India's most respected mapping company — spans every layer of the geospatial value chain.

Connected vehicles and automotive IoT are at the core of Rishin's CPO mandate. He leads product strategy for the intelligence layer between vehicles and cloud — OEM integrations, in-car navigation, vehicle data platforms, sensor fusion, and the software that makes cars intelligent. He has tracked this space from early telematics to today's software-defined vehicle era.

As CTO of Gtropy, Rishin architects the technology backbone for GPS-based fleet management at 600,000+ vehicle scale. He understands every technical layer: real-time location pipelines, device management, alert systems, driver scoring algorithms, and the data infrastructure that turns millions of GPS pings into actionable fleet intelligence. This is execution-layer expertise at national scale.

India's logistics industry is one of the largest and most complex in the world. Rishin's work at Gtropy gives him deep practical knowledge of how technology solves last-mile, mid-mile, and long-haul logistics challenges — from consignor visibility to transporter compliance to real-time supply chain analytics at enterprise scale.

Rishin's product leadership spans the full spectrum — from 0→1 product creation (as a startup founder at Megacarpool) to scaling platforms across B2B and B2B2C markets at MapmyIndia. He excels at translating technical complexity into product strategy, building roadmaps that balance innovation with commercial reality, and leading cross-functional teams toward measurable outcomes.

Before his CPO and CTO roles, Rishin led MapmyIndia's telecom and telematics business as Associate VP — pioneering new product introduction in M2M communications, vehicle tracking hardware, and the convergence of telecom connectivity with location intelligence. This foundation gives him unique insight into the hardware-software interface that defines IoT products.

End-to-end connected vehicle service platforms — from OEM telematics integration and over-the-air updates to connected car APIs, vehicle diagnostics, emergency response, and the full suite of value-added services that define the modern software-defined vehicle experience.

The convergence of mobility and fintech — in-car payment systems for tolls, fuel, parking, and commerce integrated into the vehicle HMI. Rishin has led product thinking at the intersection of location intelligence and seamless in-vehicle transaction experiences.

Drone-based geospatial data capture, aerial mapping, and last-mile drone delivery — applying MapmyIndia's geospatial intelligence layer to unmanned aerial vehicles. Product strategy spanning regulatory compliance, airspace mapping, and drone logistics integration.

The full logistics stack — from last-mile hyperlocal delivery optimisation to mid-mile hub-and-spoke operations to long-haul fleet management. Rishin's work at Gtropy spans every segment of India's delivery economy, with technology that reduces empty miles, improves on-time delivery, and gives shippers end-to-end visibility.

Real-time and predictive risk intelligence for vehicle journeys — combining driver behaviour analytics, road condition data, weather overlays, and fatigue detection to protect drivers, cargo, and enterprise liability. A critical layer for insurance, logistics, and fleet safety compliance.

AI-powered dashcam and in-cab video analytics — real-time driver distraction detection, harsh event recording, lane departure warnings, and video evidence management for fleet safety and insurance. Combining computer vision with location intelligence for the next generation of fleet oversight.

Aftermarket and OEM hardware products for consumers — GPS navigation devices, dashcams, TPMS sensors, OBD dongles, and the full suite of consumer automotive hardware that brings connected intelligence to vehicles not built with it. Product strategy from component to retail shelf to cloud backend.

Factory-fit telematics solutions embedded at the point of vehicle manufacture — OEM-embedded SIMs, pre-installed navigation, factory telematics control units, and the product integrations that make vehicles connected from day one. Deep expertise in working with India's top automotive OEMs.

The intelligence layer inside the vehicle cabin — in-vehicle infotainment systems, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), computer vision for lane keeping and object detection, and the product stack that sits between maps, sensors, and the driver. Rishin leads product strategy for these next-generation automotive experiences at MapmyIndia.

High-definition mapping for autonomous and assisted driving — centimetre-level precision maps with lane geometry, road signs, 3D structures, and real-time change detection. Critical infrastructure for Level 2+ ADAS and the long-term autonomous vehicle roadmap in India.
